Patient's question:
Medical Description: My period was delayed by more than a month before it arrived, and it only ended completely today. However, my leukorrhea is a bit strange—yellowish-green, which has never happened before.History of Treatment and Effect: I was treated for candidal vaginitis at the hospital in early March.
Help Needed: Could you please tell me what issue might be causing the yellowish-green leukorrhea? The hospital is already closed now, so could I take any medication myself today to control it? I only have fluconazole capsules at home.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is considered to be caused by vaginal inflammation. The symptoms of vaginal inflammation include itching of the external genitalia, abnormal vaginal discharge, odor, a sense of lower abdominal fullness or pressure, or urinary urgency and pain. Vaginal inflammation is classified into different types based on the causative pathogen, such as fungal, bacterial, trichomonal, and non-gonococcal infections, and the treatment varies accordingly. Blind use of medication can lead to dysbiosis and worsen the condition. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and use medication based on the results. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene habits is important. A pH 4 weakly acidic feminine care liquid is suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance, and keeping the external genitalia dry while avoiding scratching is advisable. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, which can be very effective. Change underwear frequently and wash them with warm water, ensuring they are not mixed with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.
